The rudiments of business are learned; the subtleties of business are experienced. Bob Lucido’s career in Business Appraisal & Valuation began with the sale of his privately owned medical service company to American Medical International, Inc. (NYSE). While at AMI he was charged with valuing potential acquisition candidates. Sixteen acquisitions were completed during his tenure. Following AMI Bob went on to become a major shareholder and Executive Vice President of VR Business Brokers, Inc. the nations largest business brokerage firm (220 franchised U.S. offices). At VR and working with the former VP in charge of privately owned business mergers at Merrill Lynch, Bob developed a proprietary system for valuing small to mezzanine sized businesses. This system is used nationally as a standard in the Business Brokerage industry for business valuations. Bob is a highly regarded national speaker on the topics of Business Valuation and Mergers & Acquisitions of Private Companies.

AN ACCURATE VALUATION REQUIRES TEAMWORK . . .

Like a hard won victory, the successful completion of a Business Valuation or the more complex Business Appraisal requires the combination of many disciplines. Researchers compile industry based information which provides not only the traditional industry specific basis for determining value , but also proprietary data on recent similar business sales. Much of this data is obtained through our prestigious membership in The Institute of Business Appraisers, Inc. Valuation Specialists appraise specific “hard” assets at their “fair market value” or in the case of bankruptcy proceedings their estimated “liquidation value”. Our Accounting & Finance Group restate historical financial statements to accurately reflect a company’s past performance while pro-forma statements, if required, provide an unbiased view into the company’s predictable future earnings. Expert Witness Testimony is available to clients who require a Business Appraisal. At LUCIDO & COMPANY we are experienced in working with attorneys to develop evidence and strategies designed to insure a favorable outcome in court.
